FINGER RING.

Application filed March 4, 1927.

This invention relates to an improved construction of finger rings; and has for its object to provide a finger ring having a. hollow head portion and to mount a container in this head portion for the purpose of distributing or dispensing perfume which may be carried therein.

A further object of the invention is to form a container in tubular shape to extend transversely through the head of the ring, the same being provided with. a closure member to be readily removed for the purpose of dispensing the perfume carried in the container.

The invention further consists in the provision of an extending shank or spindle which is mounted on the inner surface of the closure member to extend into and contact with the contents thereof so that when it is desired to dispense the perfume in the container, it is only necessary to remove the closure member and then drop the liquid from the end of the spindle onto the desired parts.

with these and other objects in View, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, as will be more fully de scribed, and particularly pointed out in the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a sectional side elevation through the ring and showing my container or receptacle mounted therein.

Figure 2 is a section at right angles to that shown in Figure 1, showing an end view of the container.

Figure 3 is a detail in section of the con tainer removed from the ring.

Figure 4 is a detail of the closure member with the spindle or shank formed on the same.

In the use of finger rings having an en larged head portion, it is found of advantage in some instances, to provide a receptacle or container therein for carrying perfumery which may be distributed or dispensed as desired; and to accomplish this in a simple and effective way, I have pro vided a tubular container which may be inexpensively constructed and readily mounted in the head of a ring, the same being provided with a closure member which carries a shank or spindle to extend into the con tainer so that when removed the desired amount of perfumery may be carried on this Serial No. 172,627.

spindle to a point where it is removed by contact; and the following is a detailed description of the present embodiment of my invention and showing one means by which these advantageous results may be accomplished:

lVith reference to the drawings, 10 dcsig natcs the body of a ring and 11. the head portion thereof which. may be made in any desired ornamental form which is preferably struck up hollow and a gem 12 is mounted in the upper edge thereof. In order to provide a suitable and inexpensive container to be mounted in its hollow head portion, I have formed the container in tubular shape which may be constructed at the minimum expense as a container of this shape may be formed as a so-called screw machine prod uct by which the parts are turned out automatically. This container 9 is shaped with a reduced end portion 13 which may extend into a corresponding opening 14 in the side wall of the ring, the opposite end portion 15 of the container extending through the opposite side wall 16 of the ring and both ends may be inserted into position by a drop of solder or other fastening, if desired.

The inner surface of this tube at its outer end is preferably threaded as at 17 to receive the threaded throat portion 18 of the closure member 19. This throat portion is provided with an elongated shank or spindle 20 which is arranged to extend well into the container into contact with the contents thereof so that when the head 22 of the closure member is engaged by the operator, it may be unscrewed and removed from its container with the spindle 20, which latter will carry a portion of the liquid in the container and by means of which this liquid may be dispensed or deposited onto any object with which it comes in contact.

In some instances instead of carrying the liquid perfume loosely in the container, I may insert a portion of absorbent material, such as cotton, and saturate the same which will prevent accidental loss of the liquid when the closure member is removed.

By my improved means of mounting the container in the head of a ring, I am enabled to form the container in the most inexpensive construction and can mount the same in the head of the ring at the minimum expense, the closure member of the container being in position on the ring to be readily tion, a tubular receptacle extending transversely ot said head, one end ol? the tube extending through the side wall and its opposite end having a reduced portion being fixed in the opposite side Wall, a readily removable elosure member for the outer end of the tube, and a SPlIltllQ on the closure to extend into the tube to engage the eontents thereof.

In testimony whereof I allix my signature.

ARLHUR I. CLARK.
